Patient's question:
I am currently pregnant and 7 months along. Everything was fine until just the past couple of days when I suddenly started feeling discomfort in my external genital area, which might indicate a gynecological issue. I am in a special period, and I cannot take medication randomly myself. Could you please advise on the treatment for gynecological inflammation during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Women during pregnancy are also prone to gynecological infections, such as vaginitis and vulvitis, and require timely treatment. If left untreated, inflammatory cells can ascend and infect the uterine cavity, affecting the normal development of the fetus. However, during pregnancy, medication should not be taken casually. It is better to visit the obstetrics outpatient department of the hospital promptly and have a professional doctor examine you. If necessary, a routine vaginal discharge test may be conducted. Then, based on the examination results, medication should be used safely under the guidance of a professional doctor.
